written in stone

subtle oblivion
creeps into my corners
and waits to move
          till every time i try to look at it directly

and i know this is hopeless
  no one
    not a single breath will be spared
       for my simple frustrations
 i would drink poison
  just to feel
a little more
    like you

kill every grey cell in this shell
  i was born into
      till i am light enough to fly high
 as you and your incomprehensible world

make it seems just a little easier
 for when the tall grass comes to cover me in sleep
for at least at the end we were friends

I loved the theme and word combination of this one. Reminds me of the ending scene of the movie ''The fountain''. Lovely done :)

Terribly brilliant, as always! " i would drink poison/ just to feel/ a little more/ like you" It's incredible.
